Glob Patterns

A glob is a pattern of text with 2 extra characters: * matches 0 or more of any character. ? matches any ONE character.
Example: "*cake?" would match "cupcakes", "cakes", and "cake_", but not "cake", "cupcakes!", or "cakess"

Extended Bans

The following channel modes support extended bans: +b +e +I. To use an extended ban, type "/mode #Channel +b [mode]:[hostmask]" (+b can also be +e or +I).

Modes that work with +b +e and +I.

j:

[state][#channel] - Matches users in a channel. If status is specified as in +#channel, just matches users with at least that access.(state can be ~&@%+).

r:

[name] - Matches against the real name field.

R:

[account] - Matches accounts or registered nicks matching [account].

s:

[server] - Matches against server name.

z:

[fingerprint] Matches against SSL client certificate fingerprint.

An exmaple of the above: "/mode #Channel +b R:Rarity" would ban anyone from the channel logged into NickServ as Rarity.
Example 2: "/mode #Channel +b j:@#Bad" will ban anyone that is already an operator in channel #Bad from joining.

An example of the above: "/mode #Channel +e S:R:Rarity" will allow a user that is identified to NickServ as Rarity to use colors, bolds, and underlines in the channel. This regardless of state of the +S flag.

Supported Services

Canternet provides a set of services its users access. Some of those are of particular interest to channel owners.To send a services command, type "/msg [Service Name] [Command]"
The name will be similar to [something]Serv, and the command will be in all caps.
For even more help on any command listed, type "/msg [Service Name] HELP [command]"

NickServ Commands

REGISTER

[password] [email] : Registers your current nickname to you which allows you to do many more things. It needs to be a valid address as we'll send you a confirmation code.

HostServ Commands

We do not accept obscene vHosts. While requesting a vHost ending with a real TLD, you have to provide proof you control the domain. This can be done through either putting a text file on the domain somewhere saying it's okay, or adding a TXT record to the domain. Free domains (e.g. .tk) will never be approved. Notify us with the link using HelpServ. (E.g. (without quotation marks) "/msg helpserv helpme vHost Proof: http://canternet.org/vhost-proof.txt" )
